Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside a refrigerator.  Always leave the
shelves in so children cannot easily crawl inside.
If you are storing a refrigerator:
1. 
Block the door open:
  Glue thick wooden blocks to the door so it can't close.
Be sure to  use strong glue and place the blocks high, out of children's reach.  Leave only
enough room  to allow ventilation to keep appliance from collecting mildew.
2. 
Band, tape or secure the door shut: 
 Use strong tape and wrap it
all the way around the appliance several times or pass a heavy duty chain
around the appliance and through the handle(s) and then padlock it
ensuring it cannot slide loose.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
1.  
Take off the door: 
 The hinge of chest type freezers are under
spring tension.  Instructions for removal of the hinges are found on the back of
the freezer.
2.  
Cut off any electrical wires:  
Ordinary household tools are all you need.
3.  
Leave the shelves in place:  
so that children may not easily climb inside.
Talk to your children about the dangers of playing around or inside
any container that might shut them in.

Warning:  Risk of Child Entrapment.
WHY
 all these precautions?
Each year children die because they climb inside an old refrigerator or freezer;  the door closes
and they are trapped inside and suffocate . . . usually in less than 10 minutes!
Please take a few minutes and prevent such a needless tragedy.
WARNING

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or
brain damage.
